This impressive feat combined with Nintendo venerable first-party lineup including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate, to name a few propelled the Nintendo Switch into history as one of the best consoles ever released. So it’s no wonder that people are clamoring for discounts this Black Friday, if this sounds like you, read on as we give you the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday Deals.

How much will the Nintendo Switch cost on Black Friday 2021?

How much the Nintendo Switch costs depends on which SKU you go for. Recently we saw the original Nintendo Switch model dip under the crucial $300 MSRP mark, with very few offers up until now. With retailers struggling to bring in stock for the Nintendo Switch, it’s likely that we’re going to see very little in the way of offers on the original Nintendo Switch as demand is currently outstripping supply.

A different story however for the Nintendo Switch Lite, which usually retails for $199. We’ve previously seen the model dip to $189.99, but again with demand still outstripping supply, it’s unlikely that we’ll see offers underneath that until retailers want to clear out stock. Regardless, it’s something definitely to keep an eye on this Black Friday as the Nintendo Switch SKU with the lowest RRP, it’s possible that we could see outliers slashing the price to around $150, but that’s pure speculation until we’re able to ascertain everyone’s positions on the day itself. The Nintendo Switch OLED model is also unlikely to be discounted as it has recently launched, meaning that we’re going to see very few offers, especially as the stock remains incredibly limited.

What Nintendo Switch deals will there be on Black Friday 2021?

The OLED version of the Switch is a worthwhile purchase owing to the upgraded kickstand and better visual fidelity courtesy of the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen, Nintendo rarely drop their prices but due to Best Buy’s practice of price-matching we recommend grabbing one from them if you’re in the market for an upgraded Switch

• Nintendo Switch – OLED Model w/ Neon Red & Neon Blue Joy-Con – $349.99
• Nintendo Switch – OLED Model w/ White Joy-Con – $349.99

Very recently Nintendo released an upgraded OLED version of the Switch, It features an increased screen size of 7″ and, crucially, its an OLED panel, meaning that the mobile experience has been significantly upgraded, with all the benefits that come with OLED, better contrast, better brightness, and lower power consumption. In addition, the OLED switch benefits from an upgraded kickstand and an ethernet port, which were two of the more glaringly absent features from the launch edition. It’s been selling well since release so hopefully, Nintendo capitalizes on this fact and gives us a cheeky discount.

Price drops are rare, but we’ve managed to find a couple discounts for some games including the venerable must-buy, Mario Kart 8 and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – was $59.99, now $40.99
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – was $59.99, now $40.99

Nintendo may be famous for never dropping the price of their first-party lineup, but that doesn’t mean they’re entirely averse to discounts. For previous generations, they have the Nintendo Selects program, a marketing label for the best-selling games of that generation, and they are sold at a lower price point. The Selects program has yet to be implemented for Nintendo’s current generation of consoles. Nintendo themselves might be a dead-end in terms of discounts but other retailers might be cheeky and give you a little treat.
